Skiball, I just have never liked him, I dunno. I know he's talented but he does have a habit of disappearing in crunch time imo. Do you disagree? I mean I wish him well and hpe he proves me wrong.
Looks so cold in Fenway today, I hope nobody gets hurt.
I always thought Price was overrated when he played in Tampa. Especially in the playoffs. I’ve liked what he has done in Boston but he can’t stay healthy. Kinda like Clay Bucholz was.
3.53 career ERA, 5.03 career playoff ERA, and somehow it feels worse than that. Also that whole thing with Eck last year didn't improve my opinion. $30 million per, it's cost $2.6 MM/win since he came. But hey I hope he proves what a dummy I am this year.
I like him a lot. Not like in an all-time kinda way (yet?), but yeah, he is kind of a breath of fresh air. He's still young(25), so still growing into his own. AB is a little more prototypical Sox, but AB, JBJ and MB in the OF for years to come would make me pretty happy.Quote:

Yeah. mookie is a badass. And not just at bowling. He’s pretty decent and this baseball thing too
Definitely. You are closer to the action so maybe I was missing something. But for Price, we are in full agreement.Quote:

And can I just state now that from watching a little last year and keeping an eye this season: I am liking this Lin kid.
Pretty damn good bowler though.Quote:

It's snowing in Boston. Looks fucking miserable at Fenway.
Price is a cunt too. He'd fit right in in the Bronx
Can't believe anyone is still in the stands, I would have been in the bar by the 3rd inning.
I was so glad the Yankees didn't go after Price. You could have Elllsbury back for him though.
How many more games is Ellsbury going to play for the Yankees / in mlb? It has to be the worst contract I've ever seen in NY, worse than Mo Vaughn or Bobby Bonilla's.
Oh just a couple thousand more. How old is he now, about 50?
so 14ish seasons? Ricky doesn't think so.Quote:

MOOOOOOOOOOKIE! Fkna.
That was a fun at-bat.Quote:

Dang. Watching hockey, but that looks more entertaining. Caps are taking forever to lose here.
edit: holy shit they won!
His fastball looked good, but he couldn't locate the off speed stuff and the Sox weren't chasing. Here's hoping the BoSox look like this at the plate all season.Quote:

Shit. I started flipping around to other channels before the third.Quote:

Devers!
I kinda like Gomes doing the games.
Gomes is pretty fun to listen to. This Sox team is also fun to watch.
Not a Gomes guy. It's already late, I know, but he's putting me the fuck to sleep. Just the delivery.
For some reason I think we have posted about this before
Same series last year? Lol.
Agree about the delivery. Very dry.
No about Gomes. I think we discussed it. Hopefully I said the same.
Guy we do some work with texted me from a casino in the Bahamas...the sports book still has a line for Red Sox season wins at 91.5. So I am back to rooting for wins (92 would be perfect).
Yeah I'm a little deja vu-ish about the Gomes thing now that you mention it. I bet I said I liked him back then too.
Oh, yeah. I meant we probably talked about Gomes last year on the West coast swing. It’s late. I can’t write anymore.Quote:

Saying he has had a rough go vs lefties.
I can't believe I've been staying up to watch these west coast games but I can't look away. The Sox are just playing so well right now. It is fun to watch.
Geez you're more hardcore than me, what time did it end?

They'll be tee-ing off again around Oct 1 too.Quote:
